"Raged against the Muslim community Oh get over yourselves 🤦🏼♀ I know youd love a society where people arent allowed to discuss the issues which seem to originate from many within your community but this is Britain we have free speech - whether you like that or not. Speaking on TalkSPORT this morning ex football club chairman Simon Jordan raged against the Muslim community. The right wing commentator brought up several far right Islamophobic talking points including Shari'ah law first cousin marriages and Jew hatred. https://t.co/lyBFIi135A Speaking on TalkSPORT this morning ex football club"

"Sir Jim has a right to his views and if you believe in Free Speech it is even more important he is entitled to say what he believes even if you disagree with him. The FA should keep out of this. It supported the ridiculous taking of the kneewhich was a political gesture now derided by most people Initially I was going to say that Sir Jim Radcliffe should "never apologise" to the mob of unhinged woke leftists. But then I read his actual "apology" He just said sorry if his "choice of language" offended anyone. That's it He stands by his point. Rightly so. It's the truth https://t.co/2CEIwdZrht"
